Used "Heart and Soul" as a funeral song for a 94-year-old! Are you kidding me????…read more Like most Funeral Homes, these guys are way behind the times and do not use today's technologies to easily work with families. For example, as as graphic designer myself, I had already prepared a PowerPoint slide presentation for my Uncle's funeral. It had a specific order, special hymn music and timing. When I asked the Jody, the owner of the Funeral Home about it, their response was that they can't use PowerPoint. Are you kidding me? Every PC and MAC in America can run PowerPoint!!! Instead, he said they would pull the photos from my slides and make their own, using their software. No way! I did not want to trust them with this. Instead, I suggested that I create a jpeg from each slide (so the layout and order would be exact) and they could simply import those photos into their software. Olivia, who I spoke to for this process was super kind and seemed to totally understand what I was wanting. She also asked me what songs I wanted and I provided her with the specific hymns that my Uncle loved. I followed up with her and she said that it all turned out great..the songs were all in place, etc. I guess my mistake was taking her word for it. Because on the day of the funeral, we show up and they had used their cheesy software (complete with a stupid treasure-chest themed opening) and only included ONE of our Hymns (Amazing Grace)...and that was the last song. Instead they had some ridiculous elevator-music...including "Heart and Soul"---That simple piano song from our childhood and from the movie "Big". Unbelievable. On top of that, the photos were all condensed to fit their software/screen format. So...everyone in the photos had long, skinny faces. Totally looked like a 10-year-old did it. I have no way of proving it, but I almost suspect that the work that Olivia did was not used, and instead, Jody thought his way was better. Very arrogant. So...do NOT trust Anderson to do anything with class or taste. Just sayin'.

From the time they picked up my husband, and I walked back into the room. There was a flower laying on his hospice bed, , such a comforting touch.. They listen to what I wanted for his funeral and visitation, and it was all good! I've never heard that's not how we do it, or that's not how it's done. They are amazing from beginning to end very professional. they are certainly a blessing at a time when you need it most! Nate and Mason and Jacob are amazing. Thank you again for everything that you did and continue to do. Mrs Kirk C

We have only positive things to say about Stewart Baxter! We needed their services in March of…read more2024 and primarily worked with Mason. He was absolutely wonderful. He was pro-active with helping us and we never felt as if we were asking too much or were a bother. Along with him, every staff member was helpful, compassionate, and very accommodating to our needs. Every ask we had, was responded to quickly and they were so caring. Their after-care team was very helpful and we had no idea they even offered that service. The building is beautiful and we thought seating for 300 would be enough, but we ended up with some standing. Even with that, all attendees were able to see and hear the service with the TVs and they offered live streaming, which was a need for our family. With over 500 people at the visitation, they handled the traffic and made sure people were safe as they were parking. The owners were both there at different times, making sure everything was going well. If there were any issues, they were transparent to us and we didn't have to worry about anything. We are so thankful for the staff at Stewart Baxter and would highly recommend them to handle your family's needs at possibly the most difficult time in your life. The family of Kyla Klima

It was such a hard time for me and my family to have lost my mother so suddenly. We came in on a Thursday and they were able to put together the most beautiful funeral service and celebration of life by Saturday! She helped write the obituary, told us where to order the flowers, had a whole room full of accessories for table centers and wine glasses. They had a separate large space for the celebration of life. Months later I am still getting praises that my mother's funeral was the best funeral several people had ever been to and I had a future in party planning . Little did they know it was all Deborah! The funeral was beautiful, they printed the pamphlets in 12 hours, the service they provided went above and beyond their call of duty, I almost wanted to hire her to be my wedding planner she was so on top of it lol. I know my mother looking down from Heaven was even impressed. I am from Los Angeles so was slightly demanding with my needs on how everything was set up, the food that was served and how it was prepared and Deborah was on top of it the entire way from start to finish. She also let me and my family see the body 2 days in a row before she as cremated in a private library, dropped off all the extra food and cups and pamphlets and flower's personally to my families home. Provided me the same paperwork like 5 separate times because I kept losing them as I am somewhat of a scatter brain. If you are having any doubts don't!! Use Lensing! They also have so many cool things you can do with the ashes, I bought silver ball earrings that look like the ones from Tiffany's with my moms ashes as well as these cool glass globes so we can my mom with me wherever I go. Anyways this is starting to get too long but you get the picture! I could not have imagined my mom's funeral to have been a happy time but it turned out to be just that. I left feeling happy, whole and so loved.
